Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBen Flowers is a founder and Test-Driven Agile software developer with 12 years of experience building scalable, market-facing platforms and ventures across fintech, insurance, media, and e-commerce. He has led engineering as Venture CTO at BCG Digital Ventures and launched consumer-focused startups, most recently a stealth AI venture and 7879, which married real-time bullion pricing with sustainable precious-metal jewellery. Comfortable across Java, Scala, Ruby, Node.js and cloud-native architectures, Ben excels at converting legacy systems into microservices and shipping resilient platforms underpinned by TDD and continuous delivery. He brings a blend of hands-on engineering and strategic product leadership—often acting as the first senior engineer to shape platforms—and a background in economics and computing that helps him align technical decisions with commercial outcomes. An organiser of high-impact engineering teams, he’s also quietly interested in pricing systems and instrumentation that turn physical commodities into digital, tradable experiences.
